A "principal square root" is always...

Really none of the above.  

A principal square root of a real number is a positive real number (or a positive real number times i, if you're up to complex numbers, but let's assume not.)  It's not necessarily a positive integer, √2 being the obvious example.

Is √2 a positive fraction?   We can write it as √2 / 1 so I suppose it is.  It's certainly not a rational number.  Even if we grant irrationals as fractions surely √0=0 isn't a positive fraction.  So "always" isn't correct.

I'd go with none of the above, but if I had to choose I'd choose D.

A right triangle has sides of length 3, 4, and .
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

5/hypotenuse, the square root of 7/ leg

Step-by-step explanation:

3^2+4^2=25 or 5^2. you use a^2+b^2=c^2. it would be one of the hypotenuses. If the missing number is a leg, you would do 4^2=3^2+x^2. 16=9+x^2, 7=x^2, so you plug in the numbers differently.
